There could be multiple problems. As was said many times, your external doesn't have decent enough transfer rates to playback these uncompressed videos smoothly. Just because you have the problem with some of them on your internal doesn't mean that you can't have more than a single issue.

I came to terms with that fact long ago. My issue now is that my pc can't play the old raw wow files when transferred from the external, when it can play new raw files recorded to my pc. (The cs one)

Only the videos that were originally recorded on the external HDD play badly when they are copied to the internal HDD. And that makes sense because you can't expect to start recording footage,that requires for example 40MB/s while the HDD can write at 20MB/s, and have all the frames saved.

Just stop posting, please. No videos were ever recorded to an external. It's clear that you're not reading anything.

I know you're frustrated, but you should probably try to be a bit more courteous to the people attempting to help you. They'll aim their attention elsewhere if you're rude.

Be more courteous? The first time he was wrong and didn't bother to read anything I said 'I appreciate input, but please read the rest of the thread.' and then the second time he didn't bother to read anything I said 'PLEASE stop posting'.

Hello. I had the exact same problem . When I tried to transfer my files back to my computer, the resulting playback was still problematic. The video was choppy and out of sync with the audio. I had almost resigned to the fact that my files were damaged, however, I did find a fix , although it requires some time and patience. If your data means a lot to you it is worth the time. In my case, many of my files were recorded from an HD camera that was set at a frame rate of 60 frames per second. Once I transferred to my external hard drive , it seemed to struggle to extrapolate that amount of data. Here is the fix. Provide yourself with a generous amount of space whether it be on your computer or a secondary external hard drive. Find a good and I emphasize good conversion program. I used Show Biz 5 because of the versatility and speed . Learn how to use it . I used the transfer to device tab and selected ps3 which uses MP4 compression at a video compression rate of approximately 8000 kb/s and audio at a rate of approximately 192 kb/s . With this particular program I had to do one file at a time , but it only takes around 7 to 10 minutes per file, so it does require some baby sitting. Alternatively, you can try a conversion program that allows you to add multiple files for conversion, but I found that this can take an incredibly long time . ( An hour or more per video depending on the length. For me the results were astounding . I had my videos back in perfect quality sound and picture .

I'm having trouble with getting videos recorded from fraps that have been stored on my external HDD (iomega 1tb) to playback without stuttering. On most of the videos the audio plays fine, but the video is extremely choppy.

What could be the cause of this, why is it happening and is there a fix? I have 500gb recorded WoW footage and I don't want to lose it.

I've tried playing the videos on everything from WMP to VLC, nothing changes.

I've copied a video from the HDD to my actual computer and played it then, but it's still choppy.
